This is a really old song (from Fighting Temptations) but I just love Beyonce’s voice “acrobatics” as some call it. It’s called “Fever.” Since this is a cover…I feel like you’ll either love it or hate it..it’s certainly more poppy than the original..Enjoy!
I’ve always loved Kelly Rowland’s solo efforts but this one has got to be my favorite. It’s just so different than what I’ve normally heard from her. It’s definitely a different sound than Destiny’s Child and it’s totally working for her. I’m looking forward to seeing how this song will influence other new songs by her. Work it Kelly.
I was going to post about this song sooner, but now that Kanye West is in a remix to the song, maybe some of you haters will actually give Beyonce a try (we love her here at AdnanRashid.com). More importantly than Kanye West, the segment of the song that begins at 3:38 gives me chills. So unexpected from this song yet so beautiful. It can make even the biggest unbeliever believe in Beyonce. She’s the best. Also, Kanye did not make this song for me, Beyonce did. The song was great without him too! Enjoy.
So I’ve gone ahead and added another favorite song to My Faves (top of the page). “Camouflage” by Brandy is seriously like my anthem. It’s just a really great song about being yourself no matter what. I don’t believe in being in relationships where you have to sacrifice your true self in order to be “happy.” The people in your life should accept you for everything you are (and aren’t) and if not, pack your bags and get the hell out of there. Life’s too short to spend your time pretending to be someone you’re not. Don’t hide who you are. You owe it to yourself. You’ll always finds someone who accepts you for just who you are and they wouldn’t want you any other way.
In addition to the amazing lyrics, I’m just obsessed with Brandy’s voice in general. No joke, I think she has one of the best voices in the music industry. And she kills it on this song (especially towards the end). No one belts quite like she does. What a great song. Thanks girl.
I really love Jennifer Hudson’s new single, “If This Isn’t Love.” I can’t stop listening to it. It’s a very sweet and beautiful ballad. And need I comment on the vocals? Amazing. Check it out if you have a chance!
God sent me an angel from above
That’s gonna love me for life
Might as well be perfect only because
It’s the only way I can describe, so
If this isn’t love, see what it is
‘Cause I could be dreaming or just plain crazy
It this isn’t love, see what it is
‘Cause I never felt like this baby
If this isn’t love
L-O-V-E, what is in me
L-O-V-E, oh if this isn’t love
L-O-V-E, what is in me
L-O-V-E, oh if this isn’t love
Jennifer Hudson - If This Isn’t Love
(She’s going to be performing this song on Oprah today. Be excited.)
One thing I really like to do is share new music with people. Let me just say that I listen to everything. Actually, better put, I listen to anything I like. I’m definitely not into pleasing people with my music choice. If I listen to something that you like, then great! If not, I’m sorry, hope the next song is something you like (love the power of the driver’s seat). Anyway, here are some songs I’m listening to right now that you can check out if you want (via YouTube, iTunes, whatever your style).
Lady Gaga - Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) [Piano & Human Beat Box Version]
